Something is turning me all progressive and stuff

About five years ago I took the World’s Smallest Political Quiz and the results indicated that I was a left-leaning libertarian:

I took the test again, to see what five years have done, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, I’m all liberal and crap:

Here’s how it describes me:

Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded “safety net” to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.

How did a kid from Alamo Heights grow up to be such a stinking hippie? I’m sure there are lots of reasons, but for now I just thought the shift in test results was interesting.

Of course, the test presumes to categorize you based on ten questions (five political and five economic), so its reliability is dubious. Meh.
